Since, I am in such a good mood, 
, I thought I would comprise a top 20 list of who I feel are the 20 biggest villains in team history. Again this is all subjective, my opinion, which obviously may be different from yours. So do you see anyone I left off, or who didn't deserve the scorn. I have limited the list to players, as I didn't want my list to be highly filled with owners, GM's, and Field Managers. That is another list all toghther So.... here we go Starting with No. 20 working up.
20. Jake Marsinick - Just to piss Coach off.
19.- Brett Wallace- The Walrus is just the first of a few more, who seriously seriously underperformed expectations. For an athlete to take physical conditoning to this low level is truly remarkable.
18.- Brian Bogusevic- The 1st half of this guy's last name is all you need to know about this epic underachiever. Living proof an MVP player at AAA who doesn't take the time or effort to learn to hit breaking balls, doesn't deserve the rewards of the The Show.
17. Evan Gattis- For the sheer reason, that he might be one of a handful of mental midgets in MLB hisotry who have hit into brain farted Around the Horn GITP. Was not sad when Gattikus became a former Astro.
16. Yuri Gurriel- Now I am not the most PC of guys but slanting your eyes in front of the cameras at a World Series is more than down right dumb. Why give the opponent's Club House fodder for revenge?
15. Carlos Beltran- Now I know I am going to be flamed, and I am a major holder of grudges, but how he and his agent Bora$$ played us in 2004, was downright despicable. Boooooooooooo!!!!!!
14. Moises Alou- Mo was a pioneer in social distancing with his palm hardening techniques. What an AH. Bonus points for his (1) leaving to be a flub (2) whiney bitchy tantrum after the Bartman incident
13. Carlos Correa and Alex Bregman as a pair- I can't stand obnoxious showboating. These two are pros at it, and its gotten past old IMO
12. Roger Clemens- No doubting his greatness. He'll remind you, if you ask.
11. Jim Bouton- This is a name that the youngsters may not recognize. He was a veteran pitcher who played here during the twilight of his career. Who happened to write a tell all best seller which went into some painstaking detail of some not so flattering things about baseball players of the day. In the book he was pretty kind to Astros, but for others? Yikes.... So much for what privately happens in the club house.
10. Joquain Andujar.- Hot head, and prehistoric showboater. There was nothing likeable about the guy.
9. Jose Altuve, et. al. - Immeasurable long term damage to this franchise. These guys had the talent to win it without trash cans. Also,did they think they would get away with it forever, and no one would slip with the scheme?
8. Ceasar Cedeno- Not one to judge, but from the early '70's killing his girlfriend (accidental?) to beating his pregnant girlfriend 20 years later? I'll let you decide.
7. Billy Wagner- Maybe i am being unfair, but I seem to remember Wagner continuing whining about something his entire last half of his career in Houston.
6. Donn Clendenon- Never offically an Astro, but thought of Houston so little that back in '68 he refused to report after a trade.
5. Joe Morgan- Great player that for some reason had a vendetta against the team, even a late as he was a fixture in the broadcast booth. He just could not or could have the ability to say anyting good about the Astros. Scuttlebutt was that he was passed over for manager, and took out his anger that way.
4. Jeff Kent- Infamous asshole and club house cancer. Word had it, that absolutley nobody liked him. Think Ty Cobb minus 1600 hits.
3. Omar Moreno- Absolute turd who back in 1982 as a free agency signing went on a 3 month spree of bad mouthing the city and the team. Maybe boo'ed more than any resident player in our history. Team traded him mid-season, to everyone's relief.
2. Mike Fiers- 2nd tier player who wanted to get a little attention and blew the whistle. Me? I wonder what the motive was. Money? Every Astro fan should hate this bitch.
1. Ken Giles- No explantion really necessary. I'll just tie it to a sample of his greatest hits.....
